When working in a de-coupled environment it might be useful to output a Drupal entity's edit link as part of a RESTful implementation (such as when using Drupal's core JSON API that comes preinstalled on Drupal Distro such as contenta).
Download and install like any other Drupal Module. Consider installing via composer as is recommended by Drupal.
There is pretty much no config required. Once enabled you should see the
virtual editLink field output in the attributes array along with all other
fields that are exposed to the REST API and other modules.
Timeout is currently set to 1 day (60s x 60 x 24).
e.g.
"attributes": { "internalId": 3, "isPublished": true, "title": "The umami guide to our favorite mushrooms", "createdAt": "2022-02-17T01:34:43+0100", "updatedAt": "2022-02-17T19:31:05+0100", "isPromoted": true, "path": "/articles/the-umami-guide-to-our-favourite-mushrooms", "editLink": "http://drupal.docker.localhost/node/3/edit",
- Tests for different scenarios
- i.e. accessing pages via api / page
- check not being able to access after logging out etc.
- Make timeout configurable
